Well I guess if you buy more than 1 pair or 2 it would make a person think something is getting resold. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist.

Will increased customisation lead to increased customer satisfaction and decline in bot purchases ?

Good

It's strange. What difference does it make for what purpose people buy your product?

Did I miss something here? You're a company, you make shoes, people buy them and sell them. Last time I checked, wasn't this called retail?

Too late

What happened to free market?!!

Now do Resy reservations.

They said they were doing this already! Most of the damn resellers are buying up al the dunks anyway! Go to SneakerCon . You’ll notice the inventory level is the same and isn’t moving. Regular people aren’t getting them.

MrUnloved1s Wayment..I thought it was nearly impossible to bot the snkrs app 😮

JoeBriggsEsq what about when real people that are botlike order? 🤔

That is a big deal.

I wish Sony had done this with the ps5

Do they still have children working in their factories?

Bout 10 years too late

Would make sense.

Might cancel?

New Aurora law aims to stop catalytic converter theft through resale market passesAny catalytic converters worth $30 or more are now subject to new licensing and reporting requirements after Aurora City Council members unanimously approved an ordinance Monday night. How about making it a minimum of a 1 year prison sentence for anyone caught stealing one? Makes sense to remove the demand side of the equation since punishing suppliers (theft) is clearly failing.
